About 60 of the poorest Vietnamese-Cambodian families in Preah Sihanouk province on October 11 received relief aid packages donated by a group of Vietnamese workers in Cambodia through the Vietnamese Consulate General, each worth some 20 USD.

These families have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters.
In early October, the southwestern region of Cambodia was hit by prolonged torrential rains, making Vietnamese Cambodians in Preah Sihanouk, who were already affected by COVID-19, face added difficulties.
At the handover ceremony, Vietnamese Consul General Vu Ngoc Ly thanked the donors and said their kind-hearted gesture would provide motivation for the poor families in times of hardship.
According to Tran Van Nam, Chairman of the Khmer-Vietnamese Association in Preah Sihanouk, most Vietnamese people living in the province have been given COVID-19 booster shots./.
